Leonardo da Vinci left many secrets. That there is only one of his mysterious "Mona Lisa". But earlier the mysteries of his work were purely earthly. Now the situation has changed. It turns out that in his painting "John the Baptist" you can see the image of an alien. This is exactly what the ufologists who made this discovery think.
This canvas was painted in 1514-16. It is now in the Louvre. Many people looked at the picture, but no one thought that there might be a secret message related to aliens.
It is worth noting that the image of John himself is somewhat strange. He usually looks like a man with a beard. However, in da Vinci's painting, he is represented as a young boy. His figure seems to be immersed in a dark haze. This is called sfumato technology. A layer two microns thick was applied to the canvas, which created a haze effect. By the way, it is not entirely clear how the artist managed to create such a thin layer using the technologies of that time.
In order to see an image of an alien, it is necessary to create a horizontal symmetry effect. It is important to use toning and photo processing. The result is an image of a pear-shaped creature. He has large eyes, small nostrils and a high forehead. The nose is virtually absent.
It is curious that John the Baptist in the picture points his finger up. This gesture can be interpreted as the fact that aliens flew from the sky. However, this is just speculation. It is not clear why the colorful landscape is absent in the background. His image was typical of Renaissance artists.
A modern man may have a completely logical question - how could Leonardo da Vinci know about aliens at the beginning of the 16th century? There was no "Ufology" then. And practically no one spoke about aliens from other planets. Although in fairness it is worth noting that such rumors periodically spread. For example, you can think of the children from Woolpit who came (arrived?) To medieval England from a country where all its inhabitants had green hair.
But no one portrayed or described the aliens as we know them from stories from the twentieth century. Yes, the aliens appeared before us (from the descriptions of people who supposedly saw them) as short green humanoid creatures only in the twentieth century. Before that, no one had described them like that.

The image of a creature that looks like an alien may be accidental. Moreover, it is not easy to see it. We need to use modern technology to detect it. Did Leonardo da Vinci do so deliberately, realizing that in the foreseeable future - even after his death - the image will not be found?
They say that by examining the ordinary chair in which we sit, we can discover interesting mathematical patterns. But does the fact of their existence prove that the chair was made on purpose so that these patterns were found by someone. It's just a coincidence and nothing more. So it may be in the case of "John the Baptist" da Vinci.
